Last weekend, where we met some friends at Blowatz to barbecue, the summer came back.
I have to admit that I am not a huge fan of grilled meat, my choice was halloumi. And grilled halloumi was the perfect accompaniment for
Nigel Slater Warm Pea and Lentil Salad
Very delicous!
Nigel Slater Warm Pea and Lentil Salad
YIELD: 4 AS AN ACCOMPANIMENT, 2 AS A LIGHT LUNCH WITH CHEESE AND FRUIT TO FOLLOW
The nutty lentils with the fresh green peas, the earthy pulses and the sharpness of the lime match well together, despite the contrast of flavour and texture
INGREDIENTS:
- 175 grams shelled peas, fresh or frozen
- 175 grams, green or brown; Ulrike: Albleisa
- 4 tablespoons rape seed oil
- 4 fresh chives, snipped into short lengths
- 1 lime or lemon, the juice
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wash the lentils in a sieve under running water.
- Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, add a little salt and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to simmer and cook for 12 minutes. They should be cooked through but still have bite to them.
- Tip the peas into a small saucepan with the oil and chives. Cook over a gentle heat for 8-12 minutes, or 5-6 if you are using frozen peas.
- Drain the lentils and place them in a serving dish, tip over the hot peas together with their cooking juices.
- Squeeze the lime or lemon juice over the peas and lentils, grind over a little pepper and salt and serve hot.

That looks like a fantastic meal! And the lentil salad is so pretty and colourful – not something I usually say about lentils ;)
I was THISCLOSE to making this salad and switched to the mint vinaigrette recipe at the end. After seeing yours, I will definitely go back and make it sometime. Love the grilled halloumi pairing too. ;-)
Such a lovely lentil and pea salad! Makes a lovely side dish!
Wish you a wonderful summer!
Completey let this week slip by me. But I do love a good lentil dish.
